I, Ross Douglas, do solemnly swear...

To stay the hell away from all bookshops for at least a month. Or possibly two given the amount of books that sit on the mantelpiece unread and gathering dust.

The list of unread books goes as follows...

• Descartes. Key Philosophical Writings.
• Democracy in America. Alexis de Tocqueville.
• Darwin. The Origin Of The Species.
• Freud. The Interpretation of Dreams.
• Graham Greene. The Comedians.
• Gordon Graham. Philosophy of the arts. An introduction to aesthetics.
• Gary G Graham. The Cannabis Octet.
• Martin Amis. Night Train.
• Dean Koontz. Sole Survivor.

So, all in all, I think I may have enough reading material to keep me going for a while...
